Flow Systems
MMS
Materials Management System
MFS
Materials Flow System
PDS
Physical Distribution System
In a flow system, the item to be processed
subject of flow
In a flow system, the processing and transporting facilities required to accomplish the required flow
resources that bring flow
In a flow system, the procedure that facilitates use is the management of the flow process
communications that coordinate the resources
The flow of materials into a a manufacturing facility
MMS or Material Management System
The flow of materials, parts and supplies within the facility
MFS or Materials Flow System
The flow of products from a manufacturing facility
PDS or Physical Distribution System
what are the 4 types of planning lines
Production, fixed, product family, and process
What planning line is high volume, no variety
Production line (car manufacturing like toyota)
What planning line is large objects like airplanes
Fixed Materials location department
What planning line is medium volume, often associated with JIT, TQM, and lean manufacturing, also used in cellular manufacturing, combine workstation by part family
Product family department
used in job shops, little movement within department, combine identical workstations together
Process Planning department
Important factors in flow within workstations
time studies and human machine interactions and ergonomics
This process is sequential with minimal or no backtracking
Flow within a product department
some product flow patterns
end to end, back to back, front to front
some process flow department patterns
parallel, perpendicular, diagonal
Principles that result in effective flow
maximization of directed flow, minimization of total flow, minimization of the cost of flow
Quantitative flow measurement
From-To-Chart
Qualitative Flow Measurement
Relationship Chart
Does increasing the area provided for parking decrease the amount of time required to park and depark
yes
angular configurations allows for…
quicker turnover
as the angle of a parking space increases, so does the required spaces allocated to aisles
yes
where should a restroom be allocated in a workstation
with 200 feet
what type of office space is floor to ceiling walls
closed offices
what type of office space is different types of office settings for different activities
activity-based work design
a physical object that impedes a disabled person’s access to the use of a facility
a barrier
In a typical industrial facility, material handling accounts for what percent of employees
25%
In a typical industrial facility, material handling accounts for what percent of factory space
55%
In a typical industrial facility, material handling accounts for what percent of production time
87
the art and science associated with the movement, storage, control and protection of good and materials throughout the process of their manufacture, distribution, consumption, and disposal
material handling
How can material handling affect the product
Providing right amount, material, condition, and sequence, orientation, place, time, cost, method
material handling should be the result of a direct and intentional plan
planning principle
material handling should minimize variety and customization in the methods and equipment
standardization principle
one way to organize data and generate alternatives is to use…
material handling planning chart
mission of a warehouse
critical in supporting a company’s supply chain success
types of warehouse, retail distribution center
ships large order on regular basis (Wal-Mart)
types of warehouse, service parts distribution center
requires storage of many slow moving parts at irregular intervals, large plane parts
types of warehouse, catalog fulfillment or e-commerce
receives many small orders, amazon
3rd party logistics
companies may outsource warehousing
2 objectives of storage functions
maximize resource utilization and maximize customer satisfaction
wasted space that results because a partial row or stack cannot be utilized because adding materials would result in blocked storage
honeycombing
volume requirement per unit load stored to include allocated space for aisles and honeycombing
space standard
storage layout planning principles
similarity, size, and characteristics
Flexible manufacturing systems are designed for … conditions
low volume, high variety
what makes FMS flexible
process different part styles in a non batch mode, accept changes in production schedule, respond gracefully to equipment malfunction and breakdowns in the system
types of systems
structural, atmospheric, enclosure, lighting and electrical systems, life systems
